Alea Jacta Est

"ALEA JACTA EST" (The Die is Cast) is the phrase Caesar spoke when he crossed the Rubicon River after discovering the Senate had removed him from his post. To cross this small Italian river was to defy Rome's orders and initiate open insurrection. The massive confrontation with Pompey was imminent... one would become the Master of Rome, and the other would perish. Alea Jacta Est is the first PC historical strategy game to cover the major Roman civil wars, developed by a dedicated team of experts to recreate the epic battles between Romans, including conflicts involving Sertorius and Mithridates. Boasting incredible historical detail and accuracy, it is one of the few strategy games where players must face the authentic dilemmas and challenges of the Roman era. You must build and train armies, maneuver them, and engage the enemy, while also maintaining economic and diplomatic balance with neighbors. Powered by the acclaimed AGE engine, Alea Jacta Est spans Europe, Northern Africa, and parts of Eastern Europe across over 2,800 regions, complete with cities, roads, fortifications, weather types, tribes, and kingdoms. Featuring five campaigns from 87 BC to 197 AD, hundreds of historical leaders and events, it is a must-have for grand strategy fans. Key features include an Ancient Command System derived from the Wars in America system, a streamlined unit construction system, and decision features usable on the map like wild cards. The game includes a diverse array of historical events with multiple choices to enhance replayability, updated rules including combat adapted for ancient warfare, and a map covering the Roman Empire and neighboring lands with over 2800 regions and seas. It also boasts over a thousand leaders and units with specific pictures.
